It all started with five forest animals,
box of mugs and Cracow crafts markets.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Sparing form of porcelain is the perfect background for a black line. for.rest animals are fun, and everyone who drinks a morning coffee has to face a new day with the smile on his face. Foxy Loxy will be a great companion at work, and a Wise Owl will inspire you during your studying for exams. What could be better than a warm cup of tea, accompanied by a funny bear or a deer with crooked antler?

We consider polish porcelain as one of the best on the market, and that is why we pick it. When choosing the shape of a mug or a cup, we follow ergonomics. It is important to us that the ear of the mug lies well in the hand. There is nothing worse than a mug with hot tea slipping from your hands.

PLANTS MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY

When flower pots appeared in for.rest, plants were a natural next step. In our Warsaw shop we have them lots. From the floor and up to the ceiling. Small and big, for those who love them and for those who fear them. For the resistant ones and experts, we have a plant for everyone.

We invite you to visit us, we will be happy to help you in choosing the best plants for your interior, and advise on how to care for them.

We are not currently sending them to the world, but maybe soon it will change – then we will let you know!

coffee

BUT FIRST COFFEE

A café is a project initiated by our clients and neighbors. They suggested that if we already have mugs and cups, and in the area there is no good coffee, maybe we can make a cafe in for.rest. The idea has become reality.

Now coffee is not a mumbo jumbo for us. In a grinder we have the best grains from the Java Coffee, coffee roasting company from Warsaw. Every month we brew a different coffee from: Ethiopia, Guatemala, Congo, Panama, Brazil and many others … it cannot get boring! And sparkles in the eyes of our customers, after the first sip of the new mix is priceless.

We feed our bellies with French croissants, vegan cakes and Spanish empanadas with a rich filling. It’s delicious!

for.rest

THE BRAND NAME

It's a word game that reflects our two main inspirations. „FOR REST” expressing „for relaxation”, but as well „FOREST” - a word that everyone associates with leisure in the bosom of nature. Therefore we create products that are to accompany a nice rest, preferably close to nature.

history

HOW IT ALL STARTED

„When I was studying in Cracow, I created a set of 5 cups for my friend. I drew a bear, a fox, an owl, a deer and a raccoon. The gift appealed so much that the idea of showing those designs to a wider audience was born in me. I packed them into a suitcase and went to an exhibition. I sold them all within few hours.

Since then, production has changed its status from a room in a student’s apartment to a dream studio at Warsaw’s Mokotów.”
